Leadership in Aotearoa New Zealand: A cross-cultural study
نویسنده
چکیده
This study investigates the leadership characteristics of New Zealands two largest cultural groups, Māori and Pakeha. It examines the extent to which these leadership characteristics are rooted in the unique contexts of each culture. Followers perceptions of leadership behaviour were examined using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). The hypothesis that leadership is deeply rooted in the broader cultural contexts was supported. This provides tentative evidence that leadership concepts are culturally endorsed in New Zealand. These findings, if substantiated with further, more in-depth research, may prove crucial to public communicators seeking ways to disseminate information to these groups, particularly when working through opinion leaders.
